Best Practices for Safe and Efficient Snow Removal Operations

Category : Public Works
February 12, 2025

Heavy snowfalls are expected in the region over the next few days, and our teams are mobilizing to ensure that our snow removal operations run smoothly.

Parking

We would like to remind residents to please respect parking restrictions during snow removal operations.

The Town installs signs prohibiting the parking of any vehicle on specific streets until snow operations are completed. Leaving your car parked on a street that is being cleared slows down the snow clearing operation and can result in a fine of $196.

Sidewalks

Sidewalk snowplows need the entire width of the sidewalk to safely clear the snow. Please park your car at least 6 inches (15 cm) from the curb to allow for safe passage of the plows and ensure that all waste bins are placed out of the way of the snow removal equipment.

Waste collection bins

Place your collection bins in the right location, near the public road without obstructing the sidewalk or the street to avoid interfering with snow removal operations.
